New YORK, August oath. Especial THE Tt-
Dunes Baltimore special says: Had bomb
shell suddenly fallen into the German camp the
Democratic machine politicians could not have
been more surprised than they were to-day
when John X. Cowen, the leader of the Citi-
zens Reform League, who recently brought ten
fraudulent Democratic Election Judges to prison
walked into the Republican State Convention
and preferred the support of himself and the In
dependent Democrats of the State to the Repub-
lican ticket

Goman clique and working election abuses i'll
Maryland, the regular Democrats had not the
slightest idea that he would indorse straight
out Republican ticket. His action was an agree
able surprise to the Republicans, and when he
entered the Convention he created great SEN
sation.
